Well, over the past couple of days, I’ve been working on getting Planet set up to aggregate all of my feeds into one massive feed.

Over the same time period though, I’ve been playing around with OS X Tiger’s Safari RSS, and I must say that I’m quite impressed. It lets you view feeds individually, or will aggregate them into one large, searchable and categorizable feed. It’s really pretty slick.

But, I digress, I ended up setting up a number of Planet feeds, a couple for MTU LUG and a couple for myself.

All in all, Planet is pretty cool… it has some rough edges, but it’s pretty easy to figure out once you realize where the templates are that the config files are pointing at. Now I just need to learn some CSS stuff so I can make it look better.

Yesterday marked the 15th anniversary of the Hubble Telescope’s launch. Since then, it has taken more than 750,000 pictures of the universe and helped scientists gain a better understanding of how the universe worked and how old it is.

In honor of this anniversary, the following two pictures were released by NASA:

Well, I’ve decided to set the theme back to the WordPress default for now, mainly because of the thinness of the design I was using. It didn’t play nice with flickr-gallery which I set up last night.

On that note, last night I set up flickr-gallery on here, check it out at blog.aragirn.net/photos. It pulls the galleries off of my flickr site and displays them through the blog. It even pulls the exif data and allows you to view the albums as slideshows.

Unfortunately, the flickr-gallery project isn’t very well maintained or documented, so it took a bit of work to get it set up. Hopefully the coming revisions of the plugin address the install difficulties.
